New Zealand 1854-66, undated reverse (2158 Pte. J. W. Wilson. 65/Foot.), officially impressed naming, a late issue, good very fine

J. William Wilson served in New Zealand with the 65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot. Most of the Regiment embarked from Woolwich on the Java for New South Wales on 18 May 1846 and Wilson thence served in New Zealand from November 1846-30 September 1850. His Medal was noted as having been returned, with Wilson at the rank of Drummer - perhaps because he may have settled in New Zealand (Discharged in New Zealand by Hugh & Lyn Hughes would confirm) - with the Medal finally being claimed in April 1911.
